During the 12.7-nautical-mile transit, which takes four hours, the crew encounters light, variable winds ranging from 15 to 25 knots, forcing them to motor-sail while navigating close to the shoreline near Le Carbet.13:58 Upon arrival at the anchorage, the skipper disputes the chain length of a nearby catamaran, which has deployed 70 meters of chain in only 7 meters of water.13:25 The crew utilizes the stop to swim and perform maintenance, including troubleshooting the anemometer and watermaker.13:50 The passage highlights the necessity of managing onboard resources and technical systems before embarking on longer voyages.
